Suspend
With Ubuntu 8.04, suspend and hibernate modes does not work out of the box. Be warned.
Kubuntu 7.10 on s6120
Works a treat on Kubuntu 7.10.
Bluetooth, Wifi, everything works out of a default install.
only configuration and extra software to do.
now thats how Linux should work.
screw M$, id be updating to SP2 just to get Bluetooth to work.
That Sucks !
